Islamabad: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has outlined significant milestones in its push to expedite development across eight residential sectors in the federal capital. This initiative aims to deliver fully developed plots to allottees in a timely manner, addressing the growing housing demand in Islamabad.
At the forefront of these efforts is Sector C-14, where over 200 one-kanal plots have been auctioned, generating more than Rs12 billion in revenue. CDA Chairman Muhammad Ali Randhawa, during a high-level meeting on Thursday, emphasized the importance of accelerating development in this sector. Currently, 85% of the road infrastructure and 35% of the drainage and sewerage systems have been completed. The Chairman assured that plot possession will be handed over to owners before the final installment is paid.
In addition to Sector C-14, significant progress has been reported in Sector I-12, where 78% of development work has been completed, with the remaining tasks expected to finish soon. Similarly, Sectors E-12/2 and E-12/1 are nearing completion, with most infrastructure work finalized.
Legal and logistical challenges related to Built-Up Property (BUP) in Sector E-12 were also discussed during the meeting. The Chairman directed relevant departments to resolve these issues promptly to ensure uninterrupted progress.
The meeting reviewed ongoing projects in Sectors C-15, C-16, C-13, D-13, E-13, and F-13. The Chairman instructed the Engineering and State Wings to eliminate any obstacles hindering development in these sectors. He also emphasized the need for a thorough review of legal matters and pledged to personally visit the sectors to address challenges.
The CDA has set the price of one-kanal plots in Sector C-14 at Rs60 million, with payments to be made in installments over nine months. This initiative is expected to fulfill housing demands and contribute significantly to the authority’s revenue stream.
By fast-tracking these projects, the CDA aims to position Islamabad as a leading hub for modern, well-planned residential communities while boosting economic activity in the region.
